"If we're going to watch a movie on the laptop, this one's on their phone, this one's eating, this one's listening to music or watching a video," Gallo said. "There's always so much going on. I get sensory overload. I've just got to step out of the room for a second. It's too much."

This sentiment isn't unique to members of her generation, the tribe of 13- to 21-year-olds known as Generation Z. Many of today's youth are finding that technology has grown to dominate their free time.

Shouldn't it be "youths" instead?

Thanks.

Youth would be correct in this case. It's an example of a mass noun.

@Sturgis,

sometimes it's ok to make it plural...
